Abstract
Hinokitiol is a natural broad-spectrum antimicrobial monoterpenoid, which is widely used as an antiseptic in food, cosmetics and other products. In the present study, the toxic actions of hinokitiol to the plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were investigated. The EC50 value for mycelial growth inhibition was 2.63 μg/mL, and there was no positive or negative cross-resistance between hinokitiol and carbendazim. The emulsifiable concentrate of 30% hinokitiol was prepared, which has excellent application prospect in the prevention of sclerotinia and gray mould. Hinokitiol is a promising spray fungicide for stems and leaves rather than seeds and roots.

Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0320522. [PMID: 36943047 PMCID: PMC10101018 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03205-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance causes an urgent need for alternative agents to combat drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Plant-derived compounds are promising candidates for the treatment of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Hinokitiol (β-thujaplicin), a natural tropolone derivative found in the heartwood of cupressaceous plants, has been widely used in oral and skin care products as an antimicrobial agent. The aim of this work was to study the synergy potential of hinokitiol with antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus, which is an extremely successful opportunistic pathogen capable of causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections worldwide. The MIC was determined by the broth microdilution method, and the effect of combinations was evaluated through fractional inhibitory concentration indices (FICI). The mechanism behind this synergy was also investigated by using fluorescence spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The MICs of hinokitiol alone against most S. aureus strains were 32 μg/mL. Selectively synergistic activities (FICIs of ≤0.5) were observed for combinations of this phytochemical with tetracyclines against all tested strains of S. aureus. Importantly, hinokitiol at 1 μg/mL completely or partially reversed tetracycline resistance in staphylococcal isolates. The increased accumulation of tetracycline inside S. aureus in the presence of hinokitiol was observed. In addition, hinokitiol promoted the uptake of ethidium bromide (EB) in bacterial cells without membrane depolarization, suggesting that it may be an efflux pump inhibitor. IMPORTANCE The disease caused by S. aureus is a public health issue due to the continuing emergence of drug-resistant strains, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Tetracyclines, one of the old classes of antimicrobials, have been used for the treatment of infections caused by S. aureus. However, the increased resistance to tetracyclines together with their toxicity have limited their use in the clinic. Here, we demonstrated that the combination of hinokitiol and tetracyclines displayed synergistic antibacterial activity against S. aureus, including tetracycline-resistant strains and MRSA, offering a potential alternative approach for the treatment of infections caused by this bacterium.

Abstract
Hinokitiol is a natural bioactive compound found in several aromatic and medicinal plants. It is a terpenoid synthetized and secreted by different species as secondary metabolites. This volatile compound was tested and explored for its different biological properties. In this review, we report the pharmacological properties of hinokitiol by focusing mainly on its anticancer mechanisms. Indeed, it can block cell transformation at different levels by its action on the cell cycle, apoptosis, autophagy via inhibiting gene expression and dysregulating cellular signaling pathways. Moreover, hinokitiol also exhibits other pharmacological properties, including antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. It showed multiple and several effects through its inhibition, interaction and/or activation of the main cellular targets inducing these pathologies.

Abstract
Hinokitiol, a component of the essential oil isolated from Cupressaceae, possesses antibacterial and antifungal activities and has been used in oral care products. In this study, the antibacterial activities of hinokitiol toward various oral, nasal and nasopharyngeal pathogenic bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Fusobacterium nucleatum, methicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-resistant and -susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes were examined. Growth of all these bacterial strains was significantly inhibited by hinokitiol, minimal inhibitory concentrations of hinokitiol against S. mutans, S. sobrinus, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, antibiotic-resistant S. pneumoniae isolates, antibiotic-susceptible S. pneumoniae, and S. pyogenes being 0.3, 1.0, 1.0, 30, 0.5, 50, 50, 30, 0.3-1.0, 0.5, and 0.3 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, with the exception of P. gingivalis, hinokitiol exerted bactericidal effects against all bacterial strains 1 hr after exposure. Hinokitiol did not display any significant cytotoxicity toward the human gingival epithelial cell line Ca9-22, pharyngeal epithelial cell line Detroit 562, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, or human gingival fibroblasts, with the exception of treatment with 500 μg/mL hinokitiol, which decreased numbers of viable Ca9-22 cells and gingival fibroblasts by 13% and 12%, respectively. These results suggest that hinokitiol exhibits antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria and has low cytotoxicity towards human epithelial cells.

Abstract
This study evaluated the synergistic effect of curcumin (diferuloylmethane) and hinokitiol (β-thujaplicin), natural product derived phytochemicals, on gefitinib (Iressa) resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Gefitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), is widely used for lung cancer treatment. However, gefitinib resistance is easily acquired by NSCLC and followed by the development of progressive disease. Curcumin and hinokitiol are well-known bioactive compounds demonstrating anti-inflammation, anti-bacteria and anticancer effects. However, the effects of co-treatment of curcumin and hinokitiol on cancer cells have not been reported. Here, we postulated, for the first time, the possibility of combination therapy with curcumin and hinokitiol for treatment of gefitinib resistant NSCLC via increment of apoptosis and lysosomal enlargement.

Abstract
A series of derivatives of 2-hetaryl-1,3-tropolone (β-tropolone) was prepared by the acid-catalyzed reaction of 2-methylbenzoxazoles, 2-methylbenzothiazoles and 2,3,3-trimethylindoline with 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone. The molecular structures of the three representative compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography. In crystal and (as shown by the DFT PBE0/6-311+G** calculations) in solution, 2-hetaryl-4,5,6,7-tetrachloro- and 2-hetaryl-5,6,7-trichloro-1,3-tropolones exist in the NH-tautomeric form with a strong resonance-assisted intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond. The mechanism of the formation of 1,3-tropolones in the reaction of methylene-active five-membered heterocycles with o-chloranil in acetic acid solution has been studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. The reaction of 2-(2-benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-5,6,7-trichloro(4,5,6,7-tetrachloro)-1,3-tropolones with alcohols leads to the contraction of the seven-membered tropone ring with the formation of 2-(2-benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-6-alkoxycarbonylphenols. The molecular structure of 2-(2-ethoxycarbonyl-6-hydroxy-3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)benzoxazole has been determined by X-ray diffraction. 2-(2-Benzoxa(thia)zolyl)-6-alkoxycarbonylphenols display intense green fluorescence with anomalous Stokes shifts caused by the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effects.

Abstract
The decay of wood and other cellulosic materials by fungi cause significant economic loss. The widely used chromated copper arsenate was prohibited for the environmental impact and safety of arsenic and chromium. It was found that natural product hinokitiol (HK) had fungicidal and insecticidal activities, and its toxicity was bearable for the environment. We described the practical synthesis of HK-K salt. According to the GB/T18261-2000 and LY/T1283-1998, wood preservative performance of HK-K salt was tested. The results showed that the best inhibitory concentration of HK-K salt was 50 mg/L, for which the prevention effectiveness on mold is better, the killed value is between 0 and 1, and the corrosion-resistant for wood-rotting fungi is grade A.

Abstract
Substituted 2-tropolone natural products are found in plants and fungi. Their biosynthesis is thought to occur by ring expansion from a cyclohexadienone precursor, but this reaction has not previously been demonstrated experimentally. Treatment of 6-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethylcyclohexa-2,4-dienone with the non-haem iron(II)-dependent extradiol catechol dioxygenase MhpB from Escherichia coli results in the formation of the 2-tropolone ring-expansion product through a pinacol-type rearrangement. Three further substituted cyclohexa-2,4-dienone analogues were prepared, and treatment of each analogue was found to give the substituted 2-tropolone ring-expansion product. This ring expansion could also be effected nonenzymatically by treatment with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and FeCl(2). This is a novel transformation for non-haem iron-dependent enzymes, and this is the first experimental demonstration of the proposed ring-expansion reaction in tropolone biosynthesis.

Abstract
Beta-thujaplicin Is a natural troponoid with strong antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer activities. Beta-thujaplicin production in yeast elicitor-treated Cupressus lusitanica cell culture and its relationships with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) production and hypersensitive cell death were investigated. Superoxide anion radical (O2*-) induced cell death and inhibited beta-thujaplicin accumulation, whereas hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced beta-thujaplicin accumulation but did not significantly affect cell death. Both elicitor and O2*- induced programmed cell death, which can be blocked by protease inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitors, and Ca2+ chelators. Elicitor-induced NO generation was nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-dependent. Inhibition of NO generation by NOS inhibitors and NO scavenger partly blocked the elicitor-induced beta-thujaplicin accumulation and cell death, and NO donors strongly induced cell death. Interaction among NO, H2O2, and O2*- shows that NO production and H2O2 production are interdependent, but NO and O2*- accumulation were negatively related because of coconsumption of NO and O2*-. NO- and O2*- -induced cell death required each other, and both were required for elicitor-induced cell death. A direct interaction between NO and O2*- was implicated in the production of a potent oxidant peroxynitrite, which might mediate the elicitor-induced cell death.

Abstract
Integration is a crucial step in the life cycle of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1); therefore, inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase are candidates for antiretroviral therapy. Two 7-hydroxytropolone derivatives (alpha-hydroxytropolones) were found to inhibit HIV-1 integrase. A structure-activity relationship investigation with several tropolone derivatives from The National Cancer Institute compound repository demonstrated that the 7-hydroxy group is essential for integrase inhibition. alpha-Hydroxytropolones preferentially inhibit strand transfer and are inhibitory both in the presence of magnesium or manganese. Lack of inhibition of disintegration in the presence of magnesium coupled with results from different cross-linking assays suggests alpha-hydroxytropolones as interfacial inhibitors. We propose that alpha-hydroxytropolones chelate the divalent metal (Mg2+ or Mn2+) in the enzyme active site. The most active compound against HIV-1 integrase in biochemical assays [2,4,6-cycloheptatrien-1-one, 2,7-dihydroxy-4-isopropyl (NSC 18806) IC50 = 4.8 +/- 2.5 microM] exhibits weak cytoprotective activity against HIV-1(IIIB) in a cell-based assay. alpha-Hydroxytropolones represent a new family of inhibitors for the development of novel drugs against HIV infection.

Abstract
alpha-Thujaplicin, a minor component of Aomori Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO), showed rather strong antifungal activity against seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi, their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) being in the range of 12.0-50.0 microg/ml. alpha-Thujaplicin and hinokitiol (the major component of Aomori Hiba) also showed clear antibacterial activity against Legionella pneumophila SG 1 and L. pneumophila SG 3, and their MICs are in the range of 6.25-50 microg/ml. This compound showed strong insecticidal activity against Reticulitermes speratus [50%-lethal concentration (LC(50)): 0.02 g/m(2)], and it also had clear acaricidal activity against Dermatophagoides farinae (LC(50): 0.66 g/m(2)). At 24 h after treatment, alpha-thujaplicin at 0.63 microg/ml inhibited the cell growth of murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia by 78%, and its cytotoxic activity at a concentration higher than 0.63 microg/ml was as high as that of vincristine, used as a positive control. On the other hand, the cytotoxic effect of alpha-thujaplicin at 0.63 microg/ml was weaker than that of vinblastine. In this respect, the strong cytotoxic effect of alpha-thujaplicin on murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line should be emphasized, considering that it has recently been found to be low in toxicity to mice.

Abstract
Tropolone (1). showed strong insecticidal activity on Tyrophagus putrescentiae and Dermatophagoides farinae. The insecticidal effect of 1 on both insects was stronger than that of hinokitiol (2, 4-isopropyltropolone: major component of Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. hondai MAKINO). The insecticidal activity of both compounds was higher than that of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), used as a positive control. Compound 1 had potent insecticidal activity against Coptotermes formosanus, although its activity was much lower than that of commercial chloropyrifos. Like 2, 1 showed the inhibitory activity toward metalloproteases such as carboxypeptidase A, collagenase and thermolysin and their inhibitory activities were much higher than that of 1,10-phenanthroline, used as a positive control. The inhibitory activity of 1 on carboxypeptidase A was especially high, its 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC(50)) being 2.73 x 10(-6) M. This inhibitory activity was as high as that of 2 (IC(50): 2.76 x 10(-6) M). Compound 1 inhibited the growth of seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi and their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were in the range of 6.0-50.0 microg/ml. In particular, 1 showed strong antifungal activity on Pythium aphanidermatum IFO-32440 (MIC: 6.0 microg/ml).

Abstract
Beta-dolabrin, gamma-thujaplicin, and 4-acetyltropolone, the components of Aomori Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO), showed antifungal activity on seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi, antibacterial activity against two kinds of Legionella sp., and in vitro cytotoxic effect on murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line. Firstly, beta-dolabrin, gamma-thujaplicin and 4-acetyltropolone had clear antifungal activity against seven kinds of plant-pathogenic fungi tested. In particular, beta-dolabrin and 4-acetyltropolone showed strong antifungal activity against Pythium aphanidermatum IFO 32440, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 6.0 microg/ml. Secondly, beta-dolabrin, gamma-thujaplicin and 4-acetyltropolone had obvious growth-inhibitory effect on two kinds of Legionella sp. 4-Acetyltropolone especially had strong antibacterial activity toward Legionella pneumophila SG 1, and its MIC value was 3.1 microg/ml. These three compounds showed cytotoxic effects against murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line in vitro. The cytotoxic effect of three compounds in the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line were clear when cell growth was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. At 48 h after treatment, gamma-thujaplicin and 4-acetyltropolone at 0.63 microg/ml inhibited cell growth of murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia by 85% and 65%, respectively. At the same time after treatment, the growth of the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line was completely suppressed by the three compounds at concentrations higher than 5.0 microg/ml. Among these three compounds, gamma-thujaplicin had the strongest cytotoxic activity on the growth of this tumor cell line in vitro.

Abstract
4-Acetyltropolone, a minor component of Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et Zucc. hondai MAKINO, showed antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms including wood-rotting fungi, a phytogrowth-inhibitory effect with chlorophyll biosynthesis inhibition, cytotoxic effect and inhibitory activity on metalloproteases. This compound had strong antifungal activity on Daedalea dickinsii IFO-4979 [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 0.2 microg/ml] and Coriolus versicolor IFO-4940 (MIC: 0.39 microg/ml). Its cytotoxic effect at 20.0/microg/ml on human stomach cancer KATO-III and Ehrich's ascites carcinoma was stronger than those of podophyllotoxin, vincristine and vinblastine, the anticancer agents isolated from higher plants and used clinically. This compound also had potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis IFO-12993, its MIC being 1.56 microg/ml. However, other biological activities of 4-acetyltropolone were lower than those of hinokitiol which is the main component of this plant, suggesting that the contribution of the acetyl group at C-4 to biological activity is smaller than that of the isopropyl group at that position. The acute toxicity of 4-acetyltropolone (LD50: 335.2 mg/kg) to mice was much lower than that of hinokitiol (LD50: 191 mg/kg).

Abstract
Alpha-thujaplicin, a minor component of Thujopsis dolabrata SIEB. et ZUCC. var. hondai MAKINO, which was synthesized, showed the antibacterial activity, phytogrowth-inhibitory effect, inhibition of carboxypeptidase A and cytotoxic effect. Antibacterial activity of alpha-thujaplicin on Enterococcus faecalis IFO-12965 [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 1.56 microg/ml] was higher than that of gentamicin (MIC: 6.25 microg/ml) used as a positive control. Inhibitory activity of alpha-thujaplicin on carboxypeptidase A [50% inhibitory concentration (IC50): 3.24 x 10(-5) M] was higher than that of 1,10-phenanthroline used as a positive control. Alpha-thujaplicin showed germination inhibition toward the seed of Echinochloa utilis Ohwi et Yabuno even at the low concentration of 10 ppm and its growth inhibitory effect was stronger than that of sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate used as a standard. Alpha-thujaplicin at 1.25 microg/ml inhibited cell growth of human stomach cancer KATO-IIl by 86%, and Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma by 87%, respectively. This compound even at the low concentration of 0.32 microg/ml also inhibited cell growth of the former by 66%, and the latter by 75%, respectively. The acute toxicity of alpha-thujaplicin [50% lethal dose (LD50) value: 256 mg/kg] in mice was as strong as those of beta-dolabrin (LD50 value: 232 mg/kg) and gamma-thujaplicin (LD50 value: 277 mg/kg).
